Within the Sacramento metro’s enclosed regional mall landscape, Arden Fair Mall on Arden Way holds the position of the primary Class A enclosed regional for the inner Sacramento and northern Sacramento County consumer, with access from Arden Way and Howe Avenue in the Arden-Arcade corridor. The 1 million square foot Macerich property serves the comparison-shopping and prestige beauty occasion for a trade area spanning the Arden-Arcade, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, and Carmichael residential base, drawing from the households that find Roseville’s Westfield property too far north and Elk Grove’s retail too far south for routine comparison shopping.
Macy’s anchors the department store tier. The prestige beauty concentration is among the strongest of any Sacramento enclosed mall: Sephora, MAC Cosmetics, Bare Minerals, L’Occitane, Lush, The Body Shop, and Bath and Body Works collectively serve the prestige-to-accessible beauty and wellness occasion at a depth that confirms the Arden Fair consumer’s appetite for beauty comparison shopping as a primary visit driver. Apple anchors the technology retail occasion. Coach and Michael Kors occupy the accessible luxury accessories position. lululemon anchors the premium activewear category alongside Champs Sports, Foot Locker, and Zumiez.
The contemporary fashion register covers the accessible-to-mid-premium range: Anthropologie, Madewell, Banana Republic, Armani Exchange, G-Star Raw, J. Crew, Lucky Brand, True Religion, and White House Black Market collectively anchor the premium accessible fashion floor alongside volume contemporary brands including American Eagle, Hollister, Gap, Express, and Victoria’s Secret. GEN Korean BBQ anchors the dining component with a format that drives the evening visit from the Arden-Arcade younger household demographic. BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse sustains the family full-service dining occasion. For expansion teams evaluating the inner Sacramento market, Arden Fair provides the primary Class A enclosed access to the Arden-Arcade and northern Sacramento County catchment ahead of the secondary community center and strip formats that define the surrounding retail environment.
